XP desktop background

[Guest]

XP comes with a desktop background called "ascent" showing a picture of a mountain. Does anyone know what mountain this is ?
Many thanks
Geoff.

I am not 100% certain, but I think it is Rainier.

Interesting! I've been to Seattle a half a dozen times and because of the
"beautiful" weather there have never seen more than the bottom third of
Ranier...right before it disappeared completely in the fog!

I don't think that's it...

Your right Michael,
That's Rainer I would say late summer and probably taken at the "Sunrise
pass" rest stop/viewing place. I have one that is almost identical to it.
They had Mt.Baker on I believe either Win2000 or ME. Now all we need is a
picture of Whidbey island to go along with the product <g>

John,
On the great days that are clear, I think half the major roads around
here slow down as many locals have not seen it either, or so it
seems.....Sure looks nice at the moment !
